Climate information is becoming increasingly relevant to society. (Infobae/Jovani Pérez)
Weather predictions, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp to predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location based on various relationships such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
Weather forecasts are exercises that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, based basically on the observation of cloud patterns, wind, the time of year, although at first these were not very accurate.
It was not until the emergence of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented that allowed for more precise predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for transportation (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsbeyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfit to put on.

Houston is one of the most populous cities in the United States, located in southern Texas near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
The climate in this American city is mainly tropical, with the monsoon subtype.which means it is warm all year round, with a short dry season and a predominantly rainy season.
The highest temperatures They are felt between August and September, where it is around 40 degrees; in contrast, it is in January and December when cold weather prevails.
Meanwhile, the month with more rain It is usually in June or October.
Being a large country, the United States has a huge variety of climates, almost all of them.
On the eastern side of the United States Two central climates predominate: humid subtropical and humid continental.
In the American Northeast The most important climate is the humid continental characterized by constant rains throughout the year that turn into storms during the summer and snow throughout the winter.
In the southeastern United States The prevailing weather condition is humid subtropical It has warm summers, cool winters and abundant rainfall.
From the American West SideThere are at least three major predominant climates: semi-arid, arid and Mediterranean.
The semi-arid climate, in its cold subtypecovers the most central part of the west and from north to south of the United Statesis characterized by low rainfall and low temperatures.
In the southwestern United States It is where the present is made arid climate, both in its cold and warm subtypesIn the cold arid region, winters are freezing and summers are mild, while in the hot arid region, summers are extremely hot and winters are mild. In both cases, rainfall is scarce.
The Mediterranean climate is registered in the most coastal area of the American West, from north to south and is characterized by its mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers.
